                       Monday, November 16, 2009

  Mr. BROWN of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of 
the 94 World War II Veterans from South Carolina's First District that 
participated in the Lowcountry Honor Flight on Saturday, November 7, 
2009.
  The Honor Flight Network brings America's senior veterans to 
Washington, DC to visit the memorials dedicated to their service and 
sacrifice. Today I had the honor to meet with World War II Veterans 
from my district and I felt privileged to shake the hands of some of 
our greatest heroes as they gathered around the World War II Memorial.
  This month we are reminded of the selflessness and sacrifice of many 
of our uniformed men and women and I was grateful to have the 
opportunity to personally thank World War II Veterans from South 
Carolina's First District for their dedicated service to our country.
